Crowdfunder and the RSPCA have teamed up to launch #EveryoneForEveryAnimal, a new campaign to create a better world for every animal.
Nearly 60 RSPCA branches across England and Wales have launched their own fundraisers to raise money for their own animal welfare projects in their own communities. Many of the branches have also included unique rewards for their supporters as part of their fundraisers, from tours of their centre and RSPCA branded items.
In the South West there are seven branches who have launched fundraisers, with donations for the RSPCA Devon Branch – donations going to a Serenity Garden project at its Little Valley Animal Shelter. The project aims to transform the field into a multi-use space that welcomes the community, commemorates the lives of animals, and increases the biodiversity of this area and encourages wildlife and habitat creation for many species.
There are also four national Crowdfunders which have been launched by the RSPCA which aim to raise funds for a number of RSPCA projects.
As the RSPCA enters its landmark 200th anniversary year – the charity wants to inspire a one million strong movement for animals, as the charity aims to “create a better world for every animal”.
Dermot Murphy, RSPCA Inspectorate Commissioner said: “For almost two centuries, the RSPCA has been changing minds, laws, industries and lives to create a better world for animals and people alike. We have come a long way in 200 years but there is still so much more to do.
“Animals are now facing bigger challenges than ever as a result of factory farming, climate change, war and a cost of living crisis. In our 200th year we want to inspire one million people to join our movement to improve animals’ lives.
“We are incredibly proud of our network of branches across England and Wales and their dedication to animal welfare in their communities. We hope this campaign and their individual fundraisers will ensure they are able to continue to help more animals across their regions.”
The RSPCA has come a long way since 1824 – when founding members of the charity met in a coffee shop in London determined to change animals’ lives, creating the then SPCA and sparking an animal welfare movement that spread around the world.
Since then the charity has been changing industries, laws, minds and animals’ lives for 200 years, and in the last ten years alone has found homes for over 405,000 pets in need thanks to a network of 140 branches and animal centres across England and Wales.
Veterinary treatment has also gone to 1.7 million animals, and by working together with food banks and our branches the RSPCA has delivered 1.5 million pet meals to help struggling owners.
